If you broke the timing belt then you bent valves - most likely a lot of valves

Those bolt will come out - it just takes a fight sometimes -

remove the coolant overflow bottle and the bracket that holds it
then take the one strap loose from the metal lines that run along the frame rail
then take the motor up as high as you possibly can and you will get the one bolt out.

There is 1 or 2 of the bolts that i usually leave in the mount and take the mount and the bolts all out of the car at the same time.
Just be sure to put those bolts back into the mount while you are reassembling it.

The key is that you need to put the crank pully bolt back in. It needs to be in the hole and threaded into the crank part way. Then using that puller you can press against the head of the bolt. This will alow you to pull the pully off until the bolt stops you. once you have started getting it to move you can thread the bolt out until it is only threaded into the crank 4-5 treads. Then use the puller again until the head of the bolt stops you from being able to go any farther. at this point the pully will be very close to comming off. Make sure that you always put the bolt in and tread it at least a couple turns of you will screw up the threads

If you can beg borrow or steal a Dodge harmonic balancer puller it works great or this one :

The tool shown above in the picture will work just fine

The key is that you need to put the crank pully bolt back in. It needs to be in the hole and threaded into the crank part way. Then using that puller you can press against the head of the bolt. This will alow you to pull the pully off until the bolt stops you. once you have started getting it to move you can thread the bolt out until it is only threaded into the crank 4-5 treads. Then use the puller again until the head of the bolt stops you from being able to go any farther. at this point the pully will be very close to comming off. Make sure that you always put the bolt in and tread it at least a couple turns of you will screw up the treads. I personally have a longer bolt with the same threads that i use to put into the hole and press against. The best thing about doing it this way is that when the pully finally pops off the crank it will not fall onto the floor and possibly break from the.
Just so you guys know, who posted the information that was just copied onto here.
